One.
Just one...
I'm tempted to say Heinlein's BEYOND THIS HORIZON, or Niven&Pournelle's OATH OF FEALTY... DUNE, THE MOON IS A HARSH MISTRESS, ERB's THE RIDER... or Bujold's A CIVIL CAMPAIGN...

But I'll go for THE MOTE IN GOD'S EYE on grounds of all-around goodness; memorable characters, fascinating theme, narrative structure and pacing... drama and entertainment value...

They even got pocket computers right... in a book from the early 70's. :-)

If I had to recommend *one* book to somebody, that would be it.
